SharonAnne, when I was hypnotized my eyelids got heavy and I closed them,(like getting sleepy).But I still knew everything that was going on.Kinda like when you start to drift off to sleep and you here the phone or doorbell but your just to tired to wake up and check it out.Your not going to start quacking like a duck everytime some one says a certain word.LOL.You tell the hypnotist what your wanting to change and they kinda nag you into having those thoughts.Like quit smoking or eat better.I really recomend it.Good Luck to you Mary
